We can’t think of a better way to kick a new week off than with this gorgeous bridal shoot from MATOLI KEELY. This organic styled shoot ties in the different earth elements with a gorgeous dove grey ALEXANDRA GRECCO gown from THE DRESS THEORY inspired by rain, and the model Katherine’s enviable hair colour representing earth. Together with some stunning florals by VIOLET GARDENS FLORAL DESIGNS and the most beautiful of hair & make-up jobs by JORDAN K. WINN & CO. it bring the feeling of “Petrichor” to life.

Choosing what to wear for your engagement or anniversary shoot is so important. You want to be able to look back in years to come and not cringe at your wardrobe choices. Always best to stay away from anything too ‘trendy’ and stick with timeless classics and neutral colours (in my humble opinion that is). This Colorado anniversary session by the lovely Faith of WINSOME & WRIGHT is the perfect example of sticking to the above rules and the results are stunning! The gorgeous couple tell us more about their story below…

“People questioned us when we decided to get married barely out of our teenage years. It didn’t matter that we had met when we were 12 and dated all through high school, there is just this common thought that says when you get married, some part of your independence dies just a little. But, as we celebrate our 2-year anniversary, we can look back and see how far from the truth that is. Together, our life has been the most incredible adventure. This past year, we decided to renovate a camper and travel the country for our work, seeing the U.S. and even the world. We’ve had the wildest experiences together – from getting stuck on the side of the road, to being stranded with one another in deserts, and snow, and rain, to exploring new places, and meeting new people.

The past two years haven’t been perfect, but they have been full of moments that have challenged us to trust more. The most beautiful piece of being married is how it has softened us and given us the chance to be wholly ourselves, becoming vulnerable and real with each other in the best sort of way. To trust one another wholeheartedly, in sunshine or storm, home or away, pain or joy, to root for one another, to know the flaws and love them too, to find a way to make one another’s day full of laughter – that is marriage. And I wouldn’t trade these past two years of adventure for anything.”

This chic and stylish engagement session by THE GREAT ROMANCE PHOTO is captured in the exquisitely soft light that California is well known for. Creative souls Aimee & Jonny had one requirement for the session – that it be by the ocean, and with their undeniable chemistry the entire shoot appears effortless and natural, and their impeccable sense of style means the images shine.
